"You are not your selfie. You are so much more." – J.A. Thomas
In Delete Me, renowned mental health researcher and social media addiction consultant J.A. Thomas offers proven methods that any teen, 'tween, or parent can use to identify social media dependence, as well as video game overexposure and cell phone addictions - and their symptoms in children, teenagers and adults.
As a former Big Tech platform programmer, Thomas draws from a unique insider perspective that exposes how technology companies like TikTok, Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat use social media marketing, internet manipulation, and thought control to alter teen behavior and control consumer buying decisions.
So, it's time to 'Swipe Left'… and DELETE social media! In Delete Me, you will learn an easy, but very effective 7-Step program (D.S.M. 7) that any teenager and their parents can use to cure the cancer that is social media reliance - and improve self-esteem for teens, allow them to find new friends in the "real world" outside of their cell phones, and overcome self-doubt, negativity, and social isolation that are all caused by too much screen time.
In this life-changing social media addiction book, you will learn:
How overusing social media causes teen depression, anxiety in children, and intentionally changes their morality, values, faith, and perspectives towards themselves, their families, and other social interactions, which can lead to destructive behaviors like drug addiction, behavioral issues, self-harm, and suicide. How social media apps are designed to rewire our brains, which makes social media usage and cell phone video games nearly identical to addictive substances. Why common strategies to limit screen time, using parental social media monitoring, and installing surveillance apps encourage self-defeating behaviors and do not work long-term as social media addiction treatments. How the social media 'pull-to-refresh' function, checking for likes, follows and re-tweets were intentionally designed to be as addictive as physically gambling at casinos, and utilize the same Variable Reward Schedules to change behaviors, increase usage, and cause addiction. How addiction treatments for technology addictions in the family are failing us and why total abstinence will allow you to master your emotions and manage anxiety. Arguments for why social media addictions and technology compulsion should be listed in the DSM in order to better identify, treat and mitigate teen depression, and encourage positive parenting styles for positive mental health outcomes in a digitally immersed society. Helpful worksheets and a curated depression workbook to overcome social media addiction's related traumas (seasonal depression, poor communication with teens, cyberbullying, privacy concerns) How deleting your fixation to social media in 2023 & beyond is the key to overcoming depression. Why social media is ruining your life… but you are still using it!The methodologies introduced in D.S.M. 7 insist in total abstinence from all social media applications, as key to driving us towards richer and more meaningful ways of living, by connecting us back to the world beyond the tiny blue screen. So, now is the perfect time to get your teenagers off their cell phones and back to finding happiness and living life to its fullest!
